Echo & Bloom’s latest single, “Hindsight,” is a nostalgically driven ballad that captures the heart-wrenching feeling of wishing you could go back and do things differently in a past relationship. The gentle melodies and introspective lyrics transport the listener to a place of longing and regret, but ultimately encourage the idea of growth and moving forward. The song’s beautiful instrumentation, including soothing guitar and piano, only adds to the emotional depth of the track. “Hindsight” is a must-listen for anyone who has ever experienced the pain of missed opportunities in love.
While the overarching theme definitely echoes sentiments of regret and lost chances, there’s something still so happy about the entire melodic core of ‘Hindsight’. The sheer lusciousness of the arrangement brings out such a delectable warmth and freshness, a kind of loving and soothing exuberance that just takes over you and leaves you more nostalgic than regretful. You know that hindsight is twenty twenty, and you’re fine with it anyway.
